~Monday July 14th through Sunday July 20th~
***All Times are Eastern Daylight Savings Time***
Monday July 14th-
At 2:38am Venus in Gemini semisquares Eris in Aries- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos! Venus/Eris can wake things up to shake things up. If we are complacent in our relationships or in our lives in general- Eris comes in to shine a Light on the shadow operating behind the scenes. Breakdowns can lead to breakthroughs- but we have to stay with the breakdown fully (not disassociate or check out) in order to get to the breakthrough. Being aware of how you operate in relationships and how you communicate is key right now. Honesty and directness is expansive, control and domination or victimized submission is contractive. Open your mind and be willing to hear, speak and live Truth in new and game changing ways!
This morning through tomorrow morning Venus triggers the Chiron/Eris conjunction. Chiron is brining up anger and rage so that we can see it, face it and heal it. In Aries they are activating the warrior, activist and Sacred Protector and Defender in all of us. Having healthy outlets for emotions is key- or we can find the astrology today and tomorrow reactive and explosive. Navigate with care! Pay attention to dreams overnight.
Tuesday July 15th-
At 7:08am Venus in Gemini semisquares Chiron in Aries- bringing tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Wounded Healer planetoid. Venus/Chiron can bring up olds wounds and pain around self worth, self Love, value and in relationships with others. Being aware of the mind and how you communicate- in both sharing your thoughts with others and also how you perceive what others say to you- can be insightful and healing today! If we are not aware or willing to look at Truth- we can find communication wounding or intense. Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a battle <3
Wednesday July 16th-
At 5:25pm Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius sesquiquadrates Hygeia in Gemini- creating tension between the Lord of the Underworld and the Goddess of healing and Wholeness. From today through Sunday we have strong Plutonian energies- Hygeia, Mars and Venus all tensely aspect Pluto from Wednesday through Sunday. This can be wonderful for shadow work, therapy, diving deep and getting to the bottom of things. But it an also exacerbate power struggles and intensity in relational spaces. Healthy, clear and compassionate communication is key! Be honest and direct, but also kind and courteous. Healing on the level of the mind and in social relationships- friends, groups, neighbors, siblings and more- can unfold- but this is trigger happy territory so easy goes it.
Thursday July 17th-
At 6:54pm Mars in Virgo sesquiquadrates Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius- creating tension between the lower will and Higher Will in possibly intense ways. Mars and Pluto are about Right Use of Will, Ego and Power. The tendency of Mars is to focus on one’s own will and desires- and Pluto when he is unevolved will do that times 10,000. But when both of them raise their frequency- and more importantly when Mars and the lower ego self surrenders to the Higher Self and a Higher Power- these two together can be absolutely transformative. As the nature of the aspect is tense- watch out for power struggles in work situations, in friendships and in health matters. Finding Right Use of Will and Power is key right now. Power Over and Power Under needs to give way to Power With. Pay attention to themes around Power this week- you are being shown where your next level of evolution is calling you forward!
The Sun in Cancer squares Eris in Aries at 10:05pm- creating tension between the Conscious Self and ego and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. To add to this Eris is about to station retrograde on 7/22!!! The slowest planet wins- so Eris is on top right now and dominating the scenes! This can bring some big time wake up/shake up energy. Shadow coming to Light, repressed anger coming out, intensity arising- all of this is possible. This is a great time to be in direct relationship to our anger and rage so we are not repressing it but also not reactively expressing it. Pay attention to what is coming to Light in your life right now! The best use of this energy is to channel your inner activist/warrior Goddess or God and take a stand for Truth. From today through 7/22 Eris agent of Chaos and Revealer of Shadow dominates- so invite in the Uninvited Guest and make a seat at the table for the shadow. When you do this she becomes an amazing ally!
Friday July 18th-
At 12:45am Mercury Stations Retrograde at 15’34 Leo- bringing the Winged Messenger and Planet of the Mind to a Standstill. Mercury Retrograde is a time to rethink, review and revise the past.. In Leo we are going over things related to past romances, relationships with children, our own creative self expression, our sense of self and self confidence and more. Mercury Stations Retrograde in a precise to the minute sextile to Venus in Gemini (exact at 9:37am)! The Mind and the Heart link as the Mind goes into the Underworld, while Venus is in the sign of Mercury to boot ;) This is a great day to be in therapy, having heart to heart talks, opening our minds and being receptive to hearing things as well as sharing things honestly and forthrightly- and more! Pay attention to what arises today as hints about the upcoming 3 week Underworld journey of Mercury can be incoming.
Mars in Virgo squares Hygeia in Gemini at 10:00pm- creating tension between the Will and Drive and the Goddess of Healing and Wholeness. Both Mars and Hygeia are in Mercury Ruled Signs and this aspect occurs on the same day as Mercury Stationing Retrograde. Healing wants to happen first and foremost on the level of the Mind. Our thoughts help create our reality and we need to be willing to look at how we think, as well as how we communicate and perceive- to determine if what we we are doing with our Mind is helping or hurting us. Mars/Hygeia can definitely exacerbate communication intensity- so easy goes it. If there are any health things going on in your life- looking at your thoughts and mental attitudes is going to be key to your healing. Watch out for argumentative or combative energies playing out tonight. Pause, count to 10, breathe and find a place of response rather than reactivity for best results :)
Saturday July 19th-
At 8:48am the Sun in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries- creating tension between the Conscious Self and ego and the Wounded Healer planetoid. Sun/Chiron brings up old wounds and pain around the masculine, around home/family, mothering/nurturing and more. This can bring opportunities to dive deep and confront old wounds and pain that run us. It is an excellent day for inner work, therapy and shadow work. We need to FEEL in order to heal- particularly in regards to relationships with men and the masculine part of us that has been forced to disconnect from emotions due to patriarchal consciousness and ideas about what it means to be a man. Be tender with yourself and others. Knowing that 99.9% of what others do have nothing to do with us can help us stay trigger-free today.
Sunday July 20th-
At 6:42am Venus in Gemini sesquiquadrates Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Lord of the Underworld. Venus/Pluto can be passionate and intense but with the tense aspect it can also exacerbate power struggles and bring shadow up in Love and money situations. With both bodies in Air Signs communications can get out of hand and/or reveal deeper things going on beneath the surface. PAY ATTENTION! As this occurs in the early morning hours- pay attention to your dreams as messages incoming from the Unconscious can be quite revealing!
Have a blessed week…
